He used the keys as well as the vocals. It's called a remix in this sense (and most of the time with electronic music) because it's a re-imagining of the song, not just the fact that they used a few elements.

a remix could be a same song with a new singer or verse, or it could be the same song with a new beat, or even a new verse with a new beat and the same chorus. these are three options, even though there are many more.

it could be a new take on the same thing or a total restructure.

so, are you saying that the freestylers flux pavilion "remix" track didn't use any sampling?

The vocals are a huge part of the song though, and you can't just say "this is my song, but I cut the vocals out of somebody else's song to use for my song". If you were to do that and the record label or legal department saw it, you might get sued or let off with a warning that "this isn't entirely your content, and some of the content belongs to us. You can't say this song is by you". Hence the song name Cracks (Flux Pavilion remix) - Freestylers.

I was around when dubstep was picking up and piggy backing off the DnB scene a bit. However, this track did let me know that dubstep was going to get even bigger than it already was. Of the more mainstream (for lack of a better word) dubstep tracks, this is one of my favorites. I really think he is a talented producer. I don't get the Doctor P collaborations though, as I find Doctor P pretty terrible.

as though that somehow justifies posting something that's been posted (and I'm guessing here) 20 to 30 times before. That's great that it got you into the genre OP, but you've gotta face facts, most people just don't care.

Half of the posts here are "you guys remember this song?" or "check out this awesome track" linking to a dubstep track from two years ago that almost everybody found, enjoyed, and stopped listening to already.

Occasionally, though, someone posts something new and good. It's rare, but it happens.

as though all of those people up voted based on the second part of the title. I know you're just attempting to start an argument, but that's probably not true. Most probably just saw the song, and being brostep fans, tried to get it to the top of the page.

right well, I'm not offended, I was just in a bad mood. I'm just arguing that I'm not incorrect. Sure people care about the song... That's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that nobody gives a shit if it was the song that got him on dubstep, or the song that got him off of it, or the song he was born to. It's completely irrelevant, and actually goes against the rules of the sub.

A bunch of people in the thread have commented that the song was also instrumental in their personal dubstep discovery. So it seems like there are in fact folks who care, not just about the song, but about the fact that the song was a gateway drug for dubstep.

You're doing a lot of theorizing about what others care about, so let me theorize about you. You're a cranky guy who likes being snarky on the internet.

Or, put another way, which do you think someone is more likely to care about?
1) OP and the song that got him and a bunch of other commenters into dubstep, or
2) You, and your thoughts about whether or not anyone cares about OP?

This is by FAR one of the best tracks ever. I'll be seeing Flux Pavilion next months, and while I've been to a lot of great events over the last year, this is the one that I'm looking forward to the most.
